THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF HOLLYWOOD Miss Carol must be credited for the honesty of her approach and for the way in which she has taken the public's interest to heart. But I think, as far as America and Britain are concerned, she made a mistake in tactics. I believe she has shown too much of herself; the essence of the bosom-cult is to tantalise but never to satisfy. The Hollywood approach to sex is to show just enough to set the imagination working: then the audience completes in its mind the picture which the censor would not allow on the screen. The more that is shown, the less does the imagination need to function. And, of course, that which is imagined always has a greater piquancy than that which is actually seen. 154
